Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Its a wonderful place.
The coppers ignore me.
The breakfasts and tea come ready prepared and not even a little burnt.
The trees are just the right distance apart, the kids sleep well here too
THe shrubbery gives some privacy
And theres no pigging ants !

It was one of those days.
It had been a very stressful week.
Oh, and I had eaten far too much - even for me.
I just needed to curl up for the rest of the day and night and get over it.
My biggest kid was still sitting there on the path screaching and shooting bricks at the seagull that caused the crash.
He is a fantastic shot. You can almost guaruntee he will manage to hit the ground with every shot without it getting interfered with on the way.
Apparently, the seagull looked at him funny and made him heap his go kart.
My smallest had run off screaching through the forest with no shoes on because the chain had fell off his tractor.
I like hammocks. They help me cope with the kids.

I think its really important not to put your kit on the ground.
I have found that not having your string hammock can be a huge pain in the neck.
The hammock and my whiskey were among the things that disapeared from my pack on this trip, to be replaced by a large lego kit.
Neither of the kids had any idea who could possibly have done such a thing.
Mutter, kids top of tree in hammock with lots of bungees, me in pub with trees in garden, mutter.......

I insist they empty and restock their bags between trips as it really irritates me when we get somewhere and they have forgotten something.
If they forget their kit its because they are stupid and lazy.
Obviously, if I forget something, its an accident, because I am a bit forgetful, and of course, they should have reminded me.

Hi Robbi
Hmmm.
Leaving the kids cable tied to hammocks in the woods....
I suppose it would make the wife more noisy, although, on second thoughts, that might not be physically possible.
I suppose I would also miss them.
I would have to find someone else to blame for everything that I cant blame on the wife.

Found some really thick wood a mile or so from the house.
Took ages to find a clearing in it.
Just managed to get setup before it started raining.
Started to notice the cold seeping into my back at night.
Maybe the sleeping bag is wearing.
